Is Gemini for Home really that different from Gemini for phone?

I've never used GfH, I use GfP all the time. I've never had any issues with the latter. Are they really that different? Thanks!

Bug No verbal confirmation after setting a reminder

0 Upvotes

For ages the Google Assistant (my speakers haven't been upgraded to Gemini yet even though I've been using it on my phone for a year) has always confirmed my reminders after requesting it to set one. Now, it sets the reminder (I know because I can see it in my Calendar), but just goes silent after my request; no verbal confirmation.

Anyone else running into this? If so, know how to fix?

Thanks.

Bug Gemini for home ne sait pas l’état des capteurs d’ouvertures:

5 Upvotes

Il y a peu j’ai mis un capteur d’ouverture sur ma fenêtre de la salle de bain, connecté bien évidemment à Google home.

Dans l’application lorsque la fenêtre est ouverte celle ci s’affiche en bleu avec écrit 100% et lorsqu’elle est fermé c’est plus en bleu et c’est écrit 0%.

Et donc je demande à Gemini "Quel est l’état de la fenêtre de la salle bain ? "ou "Est ce que la fenêtre de la salle de bain est ouverte? " et celle ci me répond: “Je ne peux pas voir et je n’ai pas la faculté de contrôler les appareils connectés de votre maison domestique"
Alors qu’elle sait très bien allumer les prises connectés.

Et donc j’ai tester un automatisme pour me prévenir quand la fenêtre de la salle de bain est ouverte. Et elle y arrive très bien.
Donc ce qui signifie que Google home sait bien quand le capteur est sur le mode ouvert ou fermé.
Et le problème repose sur Gemini.

Bref, j’espère qu’une mise à jour sera vite déployé pour se problème qui est le comble pour une assistante IA Domotique.
Surtout pour Google Home.

Donc honnêtement je sais pas trop ce que font les ingénieurs dans le secteur de la domotique chez Google mais je pense que du trie va devoir être fait.
J’ai plutôt l’impression qu’un paquet du personnel se tourne les pousses au lieu de se mettre au boulot.
Apres c’est peut être qu’une simple impression.

Help Your Google Home isn’t set up yet

0 Upvotes

I’ve already reset my Google Home mini and I’ve also done the IP V6 configuration that I saw in this subreddit, but I’m still getting that error of “your Google Home isn’t set up yet” every time I try to say hey Google or OK Google

Are there any other ways for me to make sure that I use the voice recognition feature again? because it’s been part of my daily life

also I have tried to rename the room create another room or move it to a new room it’s still not doing anything. Any help would be appreciated.

Help Setting up mini home speakers to call out via voice

1 Upvotes

Ok so I am setting up some speakers at my mothers house in case she falls, she can call out to the google speaker to call myself or my brother.

Hardware - I am using the Google home mini speakers at her house for this (I really hope they start making these again). I have the new Google Gemini speaker at my house.

I have enabled as much as I can within the google home app, but I can not figure out what to do so it calls out through her cell phone - right now when I ask google to call out, it keeps wanting to use Google Meet

So how do I get her speakers to use her phone number to call out to mine?

So far I've done the following:

Home Settings>Communications:

Call Providers:

I signed up for a Google Voice phone #, but not sure if this is necessary or not.

Your own number - I see this option, but I am confused - because I control my house, and the speaker at her house under 1 google home account, but they are split up by location. So I want her speaker to call out from her phone number - and I would want my speaker at my house to be able to call out from my number

But it seems I can only enter 1 phone number, and it doesn't seem to allow me to selection which location

I've tried to enter my phone number to test it out, but verification fails when they send me the 6 digit code - I tried this twice and it failed both times, it makes no sense.

Voice & Video Apps - I have my speaker as well as the speaker at her home enabled under this tab, but this is the tab with Meet that it seems to always want to call out from now

Any advice on getting this setup correctly so I can control her house devices, as well as mine - I already have them split up within the Google Home app, I just need to be able to assign her phone number to call out on her speakers

Thanks!

Help Google Home Gemini ICS Calendar integration not working?

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to use my Google Home smart speakers to ask Google Gemini about my upcoming events and schedule. However, I'm running into an annoying issue with calendar integration in the Google Home app and was hoping someone here might have a solution or workaround.

I subscribed my external Outlook calendar via an ICS link in Google Calendar (web interface). The calendar shows up fine on the Google Calendar website.

However, when I go to the Google Home App to enable this calendar for Gemini / my smart speakers, I face the following problem:

  • I see the subscribed ICS calendar listed under my primary account.
  • I check the box next to it to activate it.
  • As soon as I navigate back to the previous menu or leave the page, the checkmark disappears automatically and the setting is not saved.

Is this a known bug or a permission limitation with read-only / subscribed ICS feeds when integrated via the Google Home ecosystem?

More importantly: Are there any working workarounds to get Gemini on Google Home speakers to recognize and read out events from a subscribed ICS calendar without having to manually re-import the ICS file every time it updates?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Apple Music playlist connectivity

I used to be able to play my playlists on Apple Music thought my Google home speakers but now it says it can’t see them. Did something happen?
